SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- High school students who get mostly A's are twice as likely to eat breakfast daily than students who get mostly D's and F's, according to a federal report.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report says new data confirms the close connection between student health and academic performance.

The data suggest that regardless of sex, race/ethnicity and grade-level, high school students reporting lower academic marks also reported greater health risk behaviors associated with substance use, violence, poor nutrition, lack of physical activity and sex. They also reported fewer healthy behaviors than students with better grades.

The analysis is based on information from the CDC's 2015 youth risk behavior survey.

Here are some of the report's findings:

Students who reported receiving mostly A's were almost one and a half times more likely than students who received mostly D's and F's to report being physically active at least 60 minutes per day five or more days a week.

Students who reported receiving mostly D's and F's were nine times more likely than students who received mostly A's to report having ever injected illegal drugs.

Students who reported receiving mostly D's and F's were more than four times more likely than students who received mostly As to report that they had four or more sexual partners.
